I finally tracked down the famous Hobart lobster boat! The ad mentioned it starts at 45, but when I dashed over after work, the sky was pouring rain and not a single customer in sight. To my delight, three plump lobsters came to 152 yuan, and the kind old man offered them for just 100 yuan—what a steal!

Previously, I only knew it was somewhere in Margate, but navigating through the area proved challenging due to its size. This time, armed with the precise location, I had no trouble finding it.

The exact spot is on Gemalla Road, Margate. As you navigate there, you’ll come across a roundabout (traffic circle). Keep an eye out for a sign featuring a lobster—it’s hard to miss! From there, take a right, and you’ll see the boat right away.

The operating hours can vary, so it’s essential to check the owner’s Facebook page for the latest updates. Image 10 shows his Facebook profile. If you’re unsure whether he’s set up, a quick glance at his page will tell you. He always posts when he’s ready to go, detailing the start and end times. If there are no recent updates, it means he hasn’t set up yet, so save yourself the trip.





That sounds like an amazing deal! I had no idea you could get such fresh lobster so affordably, especially with that kind of discount from the original price. Rain or shine, it seems worth the effort to find those hidden gems like the lobster boat in Margate.
Absolutely, it’s a fantastic deal! The lobster boat in Margate is definitely one of those local secrets worth seeking out. Discounts like that make it feel like a real treasure hunt. Thanks for your interest—it’s always exciting to discover great food finds like this!
